________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________About the WorkshopYou can work on just the chakras that you select in the series without completing the series if you like. Each workshop is 25.00 or the entire series discounted at 150.00.

In this upcoming meditation & art workshop we’ll explore each of the seven chakras in meditation and also as an art piece. We’ll focus on one of the seven chakras each workshop in this series. We’ll start with the root chakra (red) and work up all the way to the seventh, the crown chakra (purple).

The word Chakra derives from the Sanskrit word meaning “wheel,” as well as “circle” and “cycle”. It’s described by many as a spinning wheel of light.

In Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism, a chakra is thought to be an energy point or node in the subtle body. Chakras are believed to be part of the subtle body, not the physical body, and as such, are the meeting points of the subtle (non-physical) energy channels called nadi. Nadi are believed to be channels in the subtle body through which the life force (prana) (non-physical) or vital energy (non-physical) moves. There are ancient beautiful mandala-like symbols, each with it’s own color, used to represent these energy wheels. Your art piece will be based on these. (seen at right).

We will be exploring them in a playful and respectful way through our guided meditation and creative expressions working on wooden panels with mixed media; acrylic paint, gel pen, colored pencil, collage. Panels are 6” x 6 “ x 1 1/2” deep.
